For myself glycol and it's derivatives are terrible. I learnt this the hard way by losing large chuncks of my hair after using a hair product with 10% glycol. Any moisturizer or creams with this product will as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow cause redness and irritation more dependin on concentration. I was told by my doctor that over 2% of people have some reaction mild to moderate to these chemicals. And that the number could even be higher than 10% unknowingly to consumers. As far as cancer, I agree with the science I just wish it wasn't in just about every product. Hello. For myself glycol and it’s derivatives are terrible.
